A brief-yet-ongoing journal of all things Carmi. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll reach for your mouse to click back to Google. But you'll be intrigued. And you'll feel compelled to return following your next bowl of oatmeal. With brown sugar. And milk.

I'm guilty of pulling the camera out at the most inopportune moments. Well, opportune from an artistic perspective, but not so much when you're busy doing something else. Like corralling children, keeping up with your wife, or otherwise trying to avoid getting lost.

An interesting truth has emerged: For every time I attempt to shoot at a really inconvenient time, I usually end up with something on the memory card that I really like. Maybe it's because I don't have a lot of time to play with settings or ponder alternatives. I'm forced to quickly compose, set up, and shoot. No mucking around. It's like writing on deadline in that the words seem to flow better when I'm pressed than when I have all the time in the world.

I have to ponder that one a little more. For now, I hope you'll enjoy this shot.

Your turn: If you're mulling over ideas for your Thematic Photographic submission, I hope you'll consider exploring the alternative forms of water. What might those be? Do tell...

Great take and an interesting spin. If I'd thought of it when the opportunity presented itself I had a perfect "alternative water shot" yesterday morning. Actually, I could have taken a shot of the air yesterday morning and it would have qualified. I don't think it's possible for the dew point to be higher than the air temperature, but if it were that would give you an idea of the humidity here yesterday just before dawn. Blech!
